you need to wait for the DVD 'bonus footage' for the left out scenes.

"We suck" Agreed to a point I mean when a 14th is a good week....So I ask, does Robby Gordon Motorsports put the cars on a 7 post shaker? Is Toyota giving Robby and his team the data it supposedly gives other Toyota teams? Did Overstreet leave because he thought he should have been crew chief?
What do we suck with? Is it a car that never sees a shaker? Never gets manufacturer data? A car that lacks straight away speed? It is obvious the cornering is a problem. We suck don't mean the guy welding the A frame sucks so the guy working with the shocks suck so the info on the spring balance and rebound sucks so the tire man is guessing on fractions of a pound to correct a problem that may or may not be the problem. We suck, means we are not as fast as we should be and why the frigg not. Not Bob Thersmond is a sucky member of a sucky team and i'm firing people just to flex. Robby always rode the waves high and cursed the lows hard.

I thought it was a very honest statement, he is not sugar coating shitty performance, I think the help he gets from Toyota is very meager to say the least, but I also agree somewhat that his speed factory episode's are not going to get a big dollar sponsor, if that is what they are intended for.

Overstreet LEFT RACING..He wanted to do something else.

42 teams suck each week. As they say, you are only as good as your last race.

Kinda on vacation this week so just watched it. Gene is hilarious as always and i really dont see how people are shocked at the fact they may start and park a few races. Even if they were running better its all about the all mighty dollar. No sponsorship means in all practicum means no race, or full race. Robby will try his best to stay in the top 35. Just gotta keep on keeping on and look at different approaches.

RG settles for nothing but the best, his statements in episode 7 make perfect sense to me

RG keeps it real... after all the last 2 minutes of that episode is one reason some of us are RG fans to begin with...he tells it like it is, he's not going to fill ya with some line of bullshit.
